An AI Flyby for the Week

ChatGPT API

This first one is pretty self-explanatory. OpenAI, the playboy AI company that ignited the generative AI craze we are in today released their official API for ChatGPT. Gone are the days of extracting the token from the applications tab and refreshing it every 5 minutes to access ChatGPT from your Python code. And it get's better. The ChatGPT api costs $.002 / 1000 tokens, which is 10x cheaper than GPT3. Pretty sweet if you ask me. READ MORE HERE

LLaMAs Incoming!

Not to be outdone, the Zuck and Meta released LLaMA, a series of new large language models that serve as their competitor to GPT-3. LLaMA is said to outperform GPT-3 on most benchmarks and has significantly less parameters. On top of that, LLaMA is open sourced and trained on publicly available and verifiable datasets. LLaMA is a game changer for research institutions looking to make inroads into generative AI and a huge boon to the open source community.

Morale of the story: never count the Zuck out. The dude practically invented online social networks. READ MORE HERE

Windows 11 + AI

Windows 11 is slated for a bunch of upgrades beyond just integrating with Bing's revamped and testy AI search engine. Upgrades like: background noise reduction in video calls, AI-powered launchpad recommendations (learns what apps you open and when you open them), automatic calendar event scheduling through Bing, AI enhanced multitasking, GPT integrated with Word, and last but not least IOS alerts forwarded to your Windows devices. Yep, this means you can mix and match your phones and computers now! That last one probably has Apple a little shook. READ MORE HERE

PRODUCT 1: BuildAI â€” Build AI-Powered Web Apps in Minutes

The name pretty much says it all for this one: BuildAI. This site allows you to quickly spin up AI web apps that you can then embed into your own websites as interactive tools or be standalone experiences. Some use cases mentioned on the buildai site are for lead gen, customer experience, and internal tooling. Their basic business proposition comes down to the following:

And when you put it like that, if I'm a business that sounds pretty darn appealing. Also, as a little special edition someone reached out to the me with their own web app built using this service called Decision AI. The point of this app is to use AI to simplify complex decision making processes and make rational choices in the face of many options. I played around with it and its actually exceedingly good at logically breaking down complex decisions into salient factors and giving a series of relevant recommendations. So, naturally, I had to hit it with a question that completely deviated from its intended use case.

Surprisingly, gave me some pretty deep advice either way. Cool beans!

BuildAI is similar to another service we had on the newsletter a couple weeks back (or maybe it was last week I don't remember lol ) called CookupAI. Whereas Cookup AI was more of an AI app store, where you could browse and explore different apps, BuildAI can be thought of as an insanely fast freelance custom AI app developer. So if you know about more cool BuildAI use cases or plan to build your own, post it on Twitter and tag me @TheAIBloke.

PRODUCT 2: GetProduct.help  â€” A New Take on Online Product Discovery

 GetProduct.help is reinventing the way we search for products online with Claros, your online help clerk available 24/7. Say you wanted to make a big purchase online: a computer perhaps. Traditionally, you might spend hours browsing Reddit and other sites looking for advice and reviews on computers that fit your specifications.

With Claros, just describe what you are looking for as if you were talking to someone at hardware store. This includes things like your budget, preferences, intended use— lay it all down and Claros will scour Amazon and other sites for just the thing. It's awesome! This is what the interface looks like and I think the way its engineered is super intuitive and amenable to product selection.

Of course me being me, I immediately tested out some more fringe purchases people might make such as presidential underwear, a Thanos themed one-piece swimsuit, and some other questionable purchases.

When browsing for the Thanos one-piece swimsuit, I was envisioning something along the lines of the image below, but instead I was initially recommend women's one-pieces. However, after I informed Claros I was actually in fact a dude, Claros immediately rectified itself and I was able to find the exact gorgeous one-piece I was looking for. What a relief.

Claros is a 10/10 awesome idea with great UI to boot.

Where My Reverse Engineers At?

See if you can guess the prompt that was used to generate the image below (try and reverse engineer the prompt from picture in engineer parlance).

Whoever has the closest guess earns my undying respect and 5 bucks (if they have a crypto wallet). Here's the thread on my profile and comment whatever you think the seed prompt was for the image. If you don't want to do the challenge and just want to make some cool pictures, go ahead and Tweet those too! But I doubt they're gonna be cooler than these! Also if nobody participates I will be very sad.

Here's the images for this week:

Let the guesses begin! I don't know how, but somehow this was initially created with just two words unless the Midjourney Discord is straight up lying to me (Midjourney creates 4 variations for any default prompt). Basically, generative image models = very cool.

Parting is Such Sweet Sorrow (But Please Keep Reading LOL)

Well that's a wrap on the newsletter.

Let me know how I did by filling out this feedback form. If I did well and you're in the giving spirit please support the newsletter by buying me a coffee or donating to my gumroad page. Most of the money you donate to me will go back into purchasing AI products to try out and review on the newsletter. Bernie says it better:

Also if you have a product that you would like to be featured on the newsletter remember to add it here!

Lastly, if you'd like to refer a friend just tell them to visit chatgptnewsletter.com to subscribe! Or you could always just forward them the email without any subject header. I'm sure they they would love that.
